I never read the books but I might give it a shot. I actually saw Daywatch in the threaters a couple of weeks ago. I would say its a soild sequel. Actually it felt like their was alittle less magic than the first movie but still good.

I haven't heard anything about the third film but if thats true it could be disastrous. The director of Daywatch and Nightwatch is doing some other movies so I'm hoping they don't replace him to get other movie out.

Thier was alot less going into "Gloom" in Daywatch (one scene) and transforming people in to animals etc. It seemed to be more flasher with the magic like when a charater Alice drives her car across some buildings or slowing down time. Maybe I haven't seen Nightwatch in awhile but it felt it was a bit less.
